Application filed April 8, 1916. 'Serial No. 89,786.

To all v107mm t may concern Be it known that I, LounELLn H. EVERTS, acitizen of the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county ofHennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Compart ment-Pillows;u and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such aswill enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

My invention has for its object to provide an improved compartmentpillow; and to such ends, generally stated, the invention consists ofthe novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter describedand defined in the claims.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein likecharacters indicate like views.

Referring to the drawings: Figure l is a plan view with some partsbrokenaway and some parts sectioned; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section taken onthe line :r2 m2 of Fig. l; and Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken onthe line ma w3 of Fig. l.

The pillow tick proper is made up of two rectangular sheets l sewedtogether at their adjacent edges. The pillow is divided longitudinallyinto three compartments, by two transverse partitions 2, and the centralcompartment is subdivided into two subcoin` pertinents by a longitudinalpartition 3 that extends between and is stitched to the cen tralportions of the transverse partitions 2. All of the said partitions are,of course, stitched at their edges to the two sheets lof the pillowtick. The feathers in the several compartments, only part of 'which areshown, are indicated by the character y..

A feather pillow without compartments or partitions, is, .as is wellknown, very easily forced out of shape. The feathers are especiallyliable to be forced from the center toward the ends of the pillow, andfurparts throughout the several,

ther-more, the feathers at the center ofthe l pillow are much morelikely to be shifted out of place than those at the end of the pillow,for the reason that the weight of the head of the person using thepillowY is usually on the central portion of the pillow. In fact., Ihave found that the pillow will maintain its best form when the feathersat 'the ends of the pillow are permitted to shift slightly in adirection transversely yof the pillow while the feathers at the centerof the pillow are not only prevented from shifting toward the ends ofthe pillow, but are also prevented from sl'iiftiug transversely of thepillow. Otherwise stated, I have found that the best results areobtained by using the partitions as above described, and shown in thedrawings. rihe short partition 3, furthermore, serves to reinforce andtie together the central portions of the transverse partitions. All ofthe said partitions are, of course, made lof fabric or flexiblematerial, and would preferably be made of ticking or of the samematerial as the sheets of the pillow tick. The transverse partitions areof substantially elliptical form, inasmuch as that is the desirednormal-shape of the cross section of the pillow.

l/ihat I claim is:

l. A pillow having flexible longitudinally spaced transverse parti tionsand a short longitudinal partition connecting the intermediate portionsof said transverse partitions.

2. ifi pillow having iexible longitudinally spaced transverse partitionsand a short longitudinal partition connecting the intermediate portionsof said transverse partitions, all of thtL said partitions beingstitched at their edges to the pillow case.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
